I act like a jerk again

brick · #1 08-05-2007, 02:14 AM

Playing Omaha 8 6/12 half-kill to 10/20.
Floors calls me for hold'em and I give the thumbs up.
I scoop >60 pot, dealer pushes me the pot and I start racking.
I toss the dealer the kill button and say I'm done.

Dealer tells me I owe $10. I tell him I'm done. I've racked my chips by this point. He calls the floor. Floor tells me I owe $10. I tell them to 'come take the chips from me' and go cashout and leave.

ps. I looked for some house rules about kill games afterwards but didn't find anything posted. None of the other casinos in this area "subtract the kill blind from the pot". If that's what they expect then the dealer should take the $10 from the pot before pushing it to me.

you titled the post correctly.

i'm pretty sure you have to post this blind. just post it and play the hand out.

psandman · #3 08-05-2007, 02:18 AM

so what did you accomplish you saved a $10 kill and didn't get to play anymore.

brick · #4 08-05-2007, 02:25 AM

Didn't accomplish much except make a strong point that the rules should be posted.

I was just so caught by suprise that they would push me a pot, and then not let me leave without giving up $10, that I went a little crazy. Is this common practice elsewhere? (becasue it's sure not in WA)

psandman · #5 08-05-2007, 02:51 AM

yes its common. Otherwise all the nits would refuse to post the kill.

LoosenUp · #6 08-05-2007, 03:24 AM

every and any kill game I have played nationwide has and enforces this rule.

you essentially stole $10 from the very next pot winner.

you may want to retitle this thread. Maybe replace jerk with rule breaker, thief, or just douche bag will do

BigBadBabar · #7 08-05-2007, 03:31 AM

yes, standard. else who would make the next pot a kill? the house isn't going to spring for it just because you're angling to save the ten bucks [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I think I'll just get up and go to the bathroom every time I have to post a kill. PROFIT!
OP blows me away.
You really think this is appropriate behavior? Wow.

As far as I know, most require you to post it if you get the kill button. Even if it's your last hand of the session.

Doubt if you made a strong point about anything. This would hardly register even if a hardcore regular in the room did this.

This makes you sound like a complete [censored]. If I were you, I'd go apologize to the floorman and dealer next time I'm there and tip him the $10.
